Hi,

I currently use range bars for charting and trade Forex via Interactive Brokers. I view and use the quoteboard to switch between two dozen symbols on a chart but the problem seems to be the difference in quotes between JPY denominated pairs and others i.e xx.xx vs x.xxxx. This leads to jpy pairs having a much larger "timeframe" than the other pairs ( I use a 5 pip range bar (setting set to 10). This winds up charting as 10 pips on JPY pairs and correctly on others. Is there a way to compensate for this automatically so it displays correctly when sifting through pairs? Thank you.

Additionally, is there a way to symbol link the FXCM historical data (through SC Realtime FX) with IB so when I am cycling through the charts i dont get pacing violations with IB? The way I understand it, in order to place trades you have to be usiung "IB Forex (For Trading) correct? This causes huge pacing violations with IB. THank you

You could look at changing the Tick Size for the symbol in the Global Symbol Settings:
